    Just wanted to put this out there - if you think a "B"illionaire is a ‘man of the people’, your attachment to reality is challenged at best.

    I’d be shocked if there is a billionaire anywhere who can relate to what people earning under $5M a year go through.

    Groceries? Fuel? Emergency car repair? Copays? Mounting insurance premiums? None of those matter in that bracket.

    She also referenced the president’s apparently cold response to a threat she received against her son’s life - that she supposedly had herself to blame for turning on Trump.

    Ahh. Shameless mysogyny.

    Yep. That’s a quick way to break the illusion.

    Over the past several months, Greene’s long history of skepticism towards foreign intervention or assistance of any kind led her to become one of the Republican Party’s leading critics of support for Benjamin Netanyahu’s government in Israel, including Israel’s brutal siege of Gaza over the past two years.

    Even years back, I always felt like MTG was “true” MAGA: anti interventionist, American first without exception. I can respect that commitment to some extent, especially the anti interventionalism angle.

    Trump, on the other hand, is just a bully. He talks absolute, but will switch direction at the slightest sign of resistance. Heck, he would’ve run as a Democrat if he could find a populist ‘used car salesman’ kind of angle to do it.
